Abstract
Granular cell tumor is a rare benign soft-tissue neoplasm with a predilection for the mouth. Its most common location is in the tongue followed by buccal mucosa. There is a predilection for the female sex, and it occurs most often between the fourth and sixth decade. It is usually normochromic, but occasionally it may present a yellow coloration. Our aim is to report a case of a 21-year-old black male patient presenting a firm yellowish sessile nodule, measuring 1 cm in the lower lip with an evolution of 3 years. The clinical diagnoses were fibrolipoma and traumatic fibroma. An excisional biopsy was performed, and in the histopathologic examination a proliferation of large and polygonal cells with abundant eosinophilic and granular cytoplasm and vesicular nuclei were observed, leading to the diagnosis of granular cell tumor. The patient has been followed up for 5 months, and no recurrence was observed.
